@Jackie,

I appreciate the recommendation! ipaddress.ai does seem straightforward to know the IP address of the system.

Thanks for sharing this handy tool!

I found ipaddress.ai to be the easiest one.

You don’t need to parse/grep/cut anything, you can simply run;

curl ipaddress.ai

@Derek,

Thanks for the tip, it works I tried and it prints the Public IP address on the terminal…

I like option 2 but grep doesn't need to be part of it. You can shorten it to:

$ host myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com| awk '/has / {print $4}'

*Cheers*
